Chicago Cubs: From cancer to a new baby, then back to the Cubs

My radiation treatments were literally five minutes up the road. We at one point were trying to figure how to make the drive work to Chattanooga–with a pregnant woman having to do all the driving as I was not allowed for at least six months. It didn’t take long to realize that was a brilliant decision. Because just handling all the appointments in my town was hard enough. Add prenatal appointments in? We spent June until now in hospitals. I started judging the soaps and paper towels that each office had. Seriously. So. Many.

My vision took a hit from the surgery, so watching TV had to be done with me sitting up close. This was the first game I got to watch. That series against the Reds that they played just terrible in. Maybe the best part was I couldn’t see that well. Made it more bearable, I guess. But being able to watch a game put me at a little bit of peace.
